Following the overthrow of the Serbian government in the summer of 2011, the new regime there recognized the exiled Vidinites as the legitimate government of Bulgaria - not the Rhodopians, like the rest of the world recognized. They then began to arm and organize the exiles. But, it went no further at the time. Following the start of the Second Yugoslav War, as one would expect, Rhodope declared support for the Macedonians and their allies - to the point of sending them aid.

abstract	Following the overthrow of the Serbian government in the summer of 2011, the new regime there recognized the exiled Vidinites as the legitimate government of Bulgaria - not the Rhodopians, like the rest of the world recognized. They then began to arm and organize the exiles. But, it went no further at the time. Following the start of the Second Yugoslav War, as one would expect, Rhodope declared support for the Macedonians and their allies - to the point of sending them aid. Serbian movements in early 2012 led to the Rhodopian military increasing its presence on their border - something which the Serbs thought of as a threat. So, they acted, in their minds, accordingly - they increased their support of the Vidinites. Rather than just material support, they now gave them military support, and began to smuggle them into Rhodope. Most of the time, they managed this without Rhodopian knowledge, though enough were discovered that they knew something was up. As a result, they took precautions and moved troops around. However, their actions proved too little, in many ways, because on the morning of April 6th, 2012, a bomb went off in the main square of Smolyan.
